Using Silicon Laboratories' patented 100 percent CMOS Aero transceiver, the Handspring Treo 600 is among the first commercially available quad-band GSM/GPRS mobile phones that combine a cell phone, digital camera, organizer, email and web-browsing functionality into one small device.
The highly integrated Aero transceiver was selected by Handspring due to its small size, ease-of-use and reliable performance. The Aero transceiver product family reduces component count up to 85 percent and board space by 75 percent when compared to competing solutions, making it the most integrated multi-band GSM/GPRS transceiver available today.
